Developmental Patterns in Security of Attachment to Mother and Father in Late Childhood and Early Adolescence: Associations with Peer Relations.
Lieberman, Melissa; Doyle, Anna-Beth; Markiewicz, Dorothy
Child Development, v70 n1 p202-13 Jan-Feb 1999
Examined developmental differences in parental availability and child dependency in late childhood and early adolescence and their association with peer relations. Found that children's perceptions of mother's availability and boys' perceptions of father's availability did not change with age. Dependency decreased with age. Positive friendship qualities and lack of conflict in best friendship were related to parental attachment. (Author/KB)
